Paint Sprayers

I've loads of spare panels to practice on, and I've notice Lidl are selling everything I need on Thursday. So I'm going to give it a go. Just do one at a time and as I'm just doing one flat colour it shouldn't be to much of a risk to feck up.

I guess, just keep the pressure as low as you can get away with to minimise overspray. You gonna use cellulose or 2 pack?

I'll speak to my wife about what to use, as she's had some experience with spraying before. I'm not sure what the pros and cons are between them. I'm a more than capable artist, but spraying is something completely new to me as most of my work has either been pencil/pen or digital drawing.

Cellulose - quicker drying, less overspray but not as good a finish as 2 pack.

Would you really notice on a white bike?

No cellulose would be fine. White is a flat colour so it also has the benefit of hiding imperfections, use 2k clear coat and the finish will be good.The darker the colour the more easily you can spot imperfections.

It's all bad for you but 2k is really bad for you, so you'll need a respirator capable of handling spraying.

Depends how fussy you are I guess, but as said you can mask most imperfections with white.

Jax has had some spray training, so she'll be my guide in most of this. I've got the compressor and tools now. Just need to get the mask R95 or P95 seems to be the recommended filter.

Good luck with it, remember preparation is key.

Best by some wet-n-dry too.
